The result was a great looking retention basin and two weirs, all constructed of Recon Northshore Granite Gravity Wall Blocks. The construction was handled by the Storm Water Operations Division. Jeffery Altice, Storm Water Operations Supervisor, indicated that they had built many walls in the past, but this was by far easier on the team from a physical perspective.
Given that the Blocks were machine set, a small group of employees could construct the wall with minimal effort. And even though this was their first Recon Wall, the learning process was very easy.
Boxley Materials supplied the blocks for this project, with the engineering completed by Mike Circeo.
